Marauder's Map fluttered out of Harry's hands?

In Book 3 (Prisoner of Azkaban), Harry's precious map, which he 
inherited from his father, falls into the wrong hands - Snape's. We 
all think that this is the end of this magical map but luckily; Snape 
doesn't know how to use it!

In Book 4 (Goblet of Fire), Harry lends his map to the fake 'Moody', 
but it doesn't say anywhere in the book if he gets it back! Does he? 
The last time the map is mentioned is in Crouch's 'confession' after 
drinking the Truth potion.

Has Rowling simply forgotten to mention if Harry gets it back or has 
she left it unmentioned for a reason?

Do you think Dumbledore would give the map back to Harry?
